IC ANON MEME

THE IC ANON MEME


RULES AND INFO

Everything must be from an IC in-world perspective. The meme is specifically a Legion fandom meme. UP citizens, Legion World Staff, and Legionnaires all have access to the meme. While this meme is in the meme comm, it is real in the game universe and all the Legionnaires and the public can see it ICly. Rather than other ic anon memes where characters post starters to the meme, this meme operates like real world memes like rpanons.

There are 3 ways to post. When posting as non-Legionnaires, do it anon. When posting as Legionnaires that unwisely comment unanon, just do it logged in. If posting as Legionnaires going anon, do it logged in, but mark "anon" in the subject, so we know it's anon, but can have a laugh over which Legionnaires are secretly stanning or shitposting.

Not necessarily a rule, but keep in mind that attitudes in the UP are different than our world. Most people are referred to generally as "people" or "sentients" instead of species-specific terms like "humans." Most racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, and other "ist" attitudes are now uncommon among most species in the UP. Many sexual orientations exist, polyamory and polygamy are considered acceptable, and gender identity is very flexible. Species-based xenophobia tends to be the bigger social ill and even with that, many are against it. The species that are most disliked and distrusted are Durlans, Daxamites, and Roboticans. If you want to use them for fun, common UP cursewords are on the Legion Basics page.

Beyond sticking to those basics, don't worry about getting anything "wrong." It's a meme and people tend to say stupid things on memes. You can even make up fake species and planets and details about them. The UP is huge and has lots of planets and species not mentioned in the game info.

You can pretend to write things from the POV of Legion staff sharing the deets on the Legionnaires. However, they wouldn't share tactical info on the Legionnaires that could get them hurt in battle, only juicy gossip. Also, if someone is writing from the POV of Legion staff and writes something about your character that your character doesn't actually do, keep in mind that half the time people make shit up. It'll just be false gossip.

Try to keep anything that can't be put behind a link sfw. While you can write someone sharing the start of their steamy slash fanfic, try to keep it limited to just part of it. Linking to fanart as if it was made in universe is a-okay, but just make sure to put it under a link and warn if it it's nsfw. Please check character ages before posting any nsfw stuff to make sure they're over 18.

Feel free to get really crazy. Fandom gets crazy and fandom is no different in the glorious robot future. There are normal posters, shitposters, trolls, rpf ficcers, stans, slashers, all the same things our time has. There are macros and gifs and ongoing fake memes you can make up. There will be a few preposted topics but you can make up new ones or just have anons create new topics or troll.

The meme is generally modless and has no thread-freezing. Fandom plays it dangerous in the future and the ic mod rarely intervenes, though anons sometimes try to get them to. Anon comments can be deleted by the real mods at the request of players (like say if they made a formatting mistake and want to repost) but there should be no need to delete anything beyond that since it's all IC.

Freelancer kind of scares me after what we saw on Harrub.

he's harmless unless you're trying to kill him or his friends

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
That was a level of ruthlessness I'm not ready to accept from a member of the Legion. He's not the only one who shocked me, but he's the one who stuck out the most.
goddamngrenades: (I could live without)

anon

[personal profile] goddamngrenades 2016-11-21 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
he's a product of where and when he came from- and this was an extreme situation, right?

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Look I know you guys have this whole "precious woobie Freelancer protect at all costs" thing going on but grife, he slit a man's throat! You don't even know him!
goddamngrenades: (oh dear god)

that's a thing? Ok that's a thing. weird.

No that's not what i'm saying but- ruthless, yes. comparatively speaking it was quick and clean. still don't think he'd bust it out often unless under extreme duress, which is what that was.

Obligatory Brainiac 5 hatepost.

A bunch of Legionnaires go missing and his geniusness can't be bothered to find them until they've been traumatized?

Re: WORST LEGIONNAIRES

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
He probably set them up for it tbh. Maybe it was an experiment.

Re: WORST LEGIONNAIRES

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
okay not to whiteknight brainiac 5 of all people but can we not immediately handflail over shit like this? he gives us plenty of legit material all on his own, throwing a fit over random theories will only give the actual whiteknights actual ground to defend him on.

idk I think it's pretty shady that all that happened and not long after he apparently went out for a night on the town. My sister's cousin's broodmate saw it.

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
your sister's cousin's broodmate prolly thinks all Coluans look the same.

I don't buy it

Makes you wonder where the other missing Legionnaires have gone.

"Returned home due to quantum detanglement" my nass.

Re: WORST LEGIONNAIRES

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
my hearts hurt for them. i hope they're okay.

And now he's letting a Robotican in!

How're we going to be able to trust this team when they keep letting in mass murderers? How can Kid Quantum stand to be in the same room as a Robotican, after what they did to her planet?

Re: WORST LEGIONNAIRES

(Anonymous) 2016-11-21 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
How long will it take you robo-racists to get it through your thick membranes? The Roboticans were all under the control of control chips.

I think it says a lot about them that their immediate response to being freed from Computo's control and having free will was forming their own democratic government and trying to make peace with the rest of the galaxy.

How many organic species took millennia to evolve that far?

Wow. Brainiac 5 creates a super computer, it creates evil robots, they get free will, and they're instantly a society. Amazing how beings with an infonet connection know how to do all that.

Have you ever heard of the Computer Tyrants? This is probably how they started. Pretending to make peace, worming themselves into important parts of society...
